Good standalone episode, you get a glimpse of how much Olivia cares for Peter :) I wonder if Astrid will dig out the story about Peter from Walter.

I'd say they needed you in the solution Radish ;). hahaha..

William vs Walter!

It?s the showdown we?ve been waiting for.

Fringe?s second-season finale this spring will feature a long-awaited confrontation between weird science partners-turned-frenemies William Bell (Leonard Nimoy) and Walter Bishop (John Noble).

?William and Walter will finally face off in the finale,? confirms consulting producer Akiva Goldsman, who is directing the two-part episode (written by exec producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman). ?These [characters] have so much that they?re bringing to bear. And Leonard and John are two fantastic actors.?

The William/Walter reunion is just one of several mythology-related payoffs Fringe has in store in this season?s final episodes. ?We?re going to be looking very closely into Peter?s [Joshua Jackson] identity, Walter?s choices in the past, and Walter?s choices in the future,? reveals Goldsman. ?And by the end of the season, we?re all going over to the other side.

?We?re trying to do the last two episodes as a singular event, a little bit more movie-like,? elaborates the acclaimed auteur, who won an Oscar for his adaptation of A Beautiful Mind. ?It?s really one big story. We?re approaching it like a mini-feature. It?ll have a singular narrative drive.?

But will it have any closure should, heaven forbid, the episode turn out to be a series finale? ?Good stories typically have sufficient closure, but also have the promise of continuing ? even if you?re not watching them continue,? he says. ?So, short of killing somebody ? which we?re not doing ? we?re just treating it like the end of a movement, not the end of a symphony.?

Question: When are we going to get some background info about Peter on Fringe? We know he is from the alt universe, but other than that we know very little about him. ?Emily

Ausiello: I have a hunch we?ll learn more in the April 1 episode, titled ?Peter.? ?It?s a window into the mysteries of Peter that have been promised since the first season,? explains consulting producer Akiva Goldsman. ?It?s an episode that?s fundamentally about his relationship to Walter and the truth of where they are right now, which is pretty revelatory to the characters and hopefully the audience.? Will he finally find out that he?s from ?over there?? ?By the end of [the Feb. 4 episode] and into [the April 1 episode] questions about Peter?s identity and mortality go a long way towards being answered.?

Question: When are we going see some development in the Peter/Olivia relationship on Fringe? ?Serena

Ausiello: ?The romantic elements of their relationship will come forward pretty soon,? teases Akiva Goldsman. ?Like any courtship, it wanes, and then it comes back again. So that?s going to make another move forward [on Feb. 4], and then we?ll keep addressing it throughout the season.?

Question: I want to know if they?re ever going to use Special Agent Amy Jessup again on Fringe. I thought she was going to be Charlie?s replacement, then she just disappeared. ?Emma

Ausiello: Responds Akiva Goldsman: ?You have not seen the last of Agent Jessup.? And what about Charlie? ?I plead the Fifth on that one.?

I saw the Observer! He passed by the diner window just before the second attack! Huzzah!

Another filler episode, but it was pretty good episode, and it's quite obvious that the seahorse was there for a reason beyond being Walter's father signature, as it appears in the opening credits.

I really hope want this show to be great, but the build up of the other dimension people has been touched on, what, 4 out of 14 episodes? I know the next episode will finally get back to the main storyline, but I can't see this show being successful for six, five or even four seasons if they keep throwing episodes in that have no relation to what brought the show into existence.

Well, I'm a new viewer with this season, so I guess I'm just use to the "filler" episodes.

This episode was OK, but I have a little problem with *why* the FBI, and especially the Fringe division, became involved so quickly.

I did wonder that myself

This was not a filler episode. It provided Backstory to Walters charecter.

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
